ОБ ЭТОМ ЭПИЗОДЕ
Continuing our series of conversations recorded live at this year's Global Birdfair, Rob and Josh are joined by wildlife photographer and filmmaker Tom Mason.
Tom has built a career around wildlife photography and filmmaking, working on assignments and projects around the world. But what does it actually take to turn a passion for wildlife and photography into a career — and how do you keep developing creatively once photography becomes your job?
In typical Wildlife Photography Podcast fashion, the conversation doesn't stick too closely to a script. Tom chats with Rob and Josh about photography, creativity, the industry, making a living with a camera and some of the experiences that have shaped the photographer he is today.
Relaxed, thoughtful and with plenty of laughs along the way, it's another conversation about far more than simply taking pictures.
Grab a coffee and join us for a chat with Tom Mason.
About the Podcast:
The Wildlife Photography Podcast is hosted by photographers Rob Read and Josh Galicki and is part of the growing WildArt community — a place for wildlife photographers who enjoy creativity, individuality and exploring different ways of seeing the natural world.
Rob is the founder and organiser of WildArt Bird Photography Awards and has spent many years working within international wildlife photography competitions. Today, his focus is firmly on developing WildArt — not simply as a photography competition, but as a community that encourages photographers to experiment, challenge convention and find their own creative voice.
Josh is an award-winning wildlife photographer with considerable experience on the other side of the judging table as a successful competition entrant. He is now an integral part of WildArt, bringing his own photographic perspective, ideas and experience to both the awards and the podcast.
Together with acclaimed Australian nature photographer Georgina Steytler, Rob and Josh are the team shaping the new WildArt, sharing a belief that wildlife photography can be about much more than simply recording what was in front of the camera.
The Wildlife Photography Podcast is an extension of that philosophy — but don't expect a carefully scripted or highly polished show. Rob and Josh prefer to sit down, press record and see where the conversation takes them.
Episodes are relaxed, spontaneous and conversational. Sometimes they're joined by photographers, judges and other guests; sometimes it's simply Rob and Josh talking about whatever has caught their attention. Conversations wander, opinions are shared, tangents are inevitable and there is usually plenty of laughter along the way.
At its heart, it's about wildlife, photography, creativity and the ideas and experiences behind the images.
